RE: walking while black - Trayvon Martin - SIXFOOTERsez - 07-12-2013 Don't know, but I still think he will skate on murder2.

It surprised me last year when O'Mara made some public statements indicating that he wasn't going for SYG, but standard self defense. His explanations as to why were never really clear to me. After reviewing the differences, I wasn't so surprised: -He wanted to shift the burden of proof from the defense to the prosecution? -He didn't want Zimmerman to be subject to cross-examination? -He felt that a jury was a better bet than a judge and didn't want to show his cards to the state in the event that he failed getting SYG immunity and had to go to trial anyway? -Maybe all of the above Earlier this year when he confirmed that Zimmerman wouldn't be seeking SYG immunity from prosecution and waived the SYG immunity hearing, O'Mara successfully argued a motion to Judge Nelson that the SYG law doesn't technically prevent him from merging a SYG hearing with the murder trial; the defense had that option available. I think O'Mara would have used that option had he felt the state's case was stronger during its case-in-chief. If George gets convicted, he and his attorneys may have some big regrets in not choosing the SYG route. Gamble. JMO and to the best of my understanding.

If the jury dont do the job they said they could do and come to a decision strictly on the facts that were presented at trial, they may convict just because they FEEL they must.

Right in her very first paragraph. I hope so much that the jury finds for the prosecution. I've never thought that George planned this or went out looking to kill someone but I do believe he bears full responsibility for how it all played out.

The State wanted the initial aggressor statute included in the jury instructions. The Judge *denied* without giving a reason other than the defense doesn't want it, so I'm not giving it. So in that way, Abrams was right. I just still believe that it should have been included, but the State got that part across very well and the instruction may have just further confounded the issue. But the "SYG" statute was given to the jury, no two ways about it. As the law to be considered during deliberations.

I believe Adub's steadfast belief of Zim being a big, fat liar, Guy emphasizing this in his closing and the fact that the DOJ has been preparing for racial unrest in Seminole County for over a year will almost guarantee a conviction. I don't believe the law's ambiguity regarding SYG hearings (or for that matter any other inconsistencies with SYG) will be addressed if Zim is convicted. As this went to trial, tubbie is now exposed to civil suits, too. Who new that justifiable use of force is not the same thing as self defense or SYG?

Are you being obtuse on purpose? They aren't the same. Abrams . . . an attorney stated so, too. Though each allow for the use of deadly force, each has unique (albeit overlapping) criteria for usage. In fact, you said it yourself when you rightly pointed out that SYG cannot be claimed in a domestic violence situation. But a spouse can use deadly force to protect their life or the lives of their children. I'm not being obtuse. I take the time to read what you posted and . . . well . . . it supports my position.

Dont ask again Wrote: Well after reading this entire thread and watching what little I could of the trial, I am still unsure weather or not Z is guilty. The facts just did not seam to come out in this case. The prosecution did not seam to have a strong case and it showed. Guilty or not guilty, I just don't know. I do think that he will walk though. He is guilty of murder. There was no reason on god's green earth for Zimmerman to have fucked with Trayvon's head. I'm surrounded by teens on a daily basis, juvenile delinquents. Not one of them deserves to be shot dead while walking home. By a fucking stranger. This shit happens between two individuals that know each other and FEEL mutual animosity. This crime was one-sided. Trayvon did not have clue. RE: walking while black - Trayvon Martin - Adub - 07-12-2013 (07-12-2013, 04:15 PM)BlueTiki Wrote:(07-12-2013, 04:06 PM)Adub Wrote: They are the very same god damn statute.

Are you being obtuse on purpose? Whatever girlfriend. The Honorable Judge Nelson read the "SYG" statute to the jurors. Why the fuck would she do that if there was a simple self-defense statute?

RE: walking while black - Trayvon Martin - HairOfTheDog - 07-12-2013 Evidence that wasn't presented... Unless I missed it, the prosecution chose not to play Zimmerman's previous 911 calls for the jury, and the defense chose not to focus on Trayvon's marijuana use, even though both sides fought successfully for the right to get those points in front of a jury. I know there are a lot of admissible witnesses and evidence that never get used at trial, but it surprised me that the previous 911 calls weren't played for the jury to bolster the state's contention that Zimmerman's state of mind was skewed and that caused him to profile, follow and kill Trayvon Martin. Maybe the prosecution decided it was too risky and would end up bolstering the defense's claim that George was just a concerned neighbor, since none of those calls resulted in a confrontation? Regarding the THC, totally irrelevant anyway, IMO. I think the defense was smart not to bring it in - it could have backfired in cross and/or with a state's rebuttal witness and in the eyes of the jury. And, the state might have motioned to get George's meds introduced if the defense had gone in that direction? Just speculating and curious if anyone else has ideas.

I've been trying to figure out the nuances of Florida's self defense vs. SYG laws (if there are differences). I wouldn't attempt to describe it any further except to say it seems SYG is a sub-set (for lack of a better term) of self defense. http://www.husseinandwebber.com/florida-law-self-defense-use-of-force.html Carry on.
